<p>sorry but you need to send a sat I or act to even be considered, which applies to many other colleges as well. If you do choose to send your sat I, you probably should have at least one other subject test within around 650 to 800. That being said, the only other thing I see that can hold you back could be your gpa, aside from your sats. If it weren’t for those, I’d say you’d have a great shot.</p>

<p>Ehh I’m not in college yet but from what I’ve gleaned so far this is an uphill battle for you. relatively low sat 2 scores, no standout ecs, lower than avg gpa, and over represented state. some things that work to your benefit are your race and the fact that you applied ED.</p>

<p>Sorry if that was a bit harsh just tryingto give an honest opinion</p>

<p>The fact that you’re first gen helps you a lot. That said, with better scores obviously you would have a better chance. However, if you’re applying ED2 you don’t have time to take another SAT… NYU does accept 3 subjects in lieu of the SAT1 but I’m not sure if your subjects fit the criteria. If not, tough luck because you don’t fit their standardized testing requirement =\ if you’re keen on attending NYU I suggest you apply RD and take the january SATs</p>
